I have a telnet server on one of my machines. : I got the x11r6 binaries for Windows NT and installed TCP/IP on two NT : machines. Now I can telnet to the other machine and type "xclock -display : foo2:0.0" and get the output of the clock displayed on foo1 which doesn't have : the x11r6 distribution at all. : So NT RUNS X!!!. : Anything else ? : If anyone is interested, I can tell you where to pick up all the pieces to : repeat this experiment. : Muzaffer Ok I see that you have the hots for NT, but you still didn't give an answer to this question. Running xclock over the X servers for NT and other X capable OS's does not mean that NT runs X. The point is to take a native NT application and runit over the cable to a remote X-server, not a native X application. That I can do with DOS. (realy, it just runs one app at time, but it is doable.) So can you run NT's own clock over the cable to my Linux's X screen ? If you cannot, NT is not capable of running X. It is simply pretending to be able to do so. You realy have to attempt to make sence .... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ devmorfo@cs.mtu.edu (Evmorfopoulos Dimitris) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
